Project Server - Read custom field with value from lookup

In one of my previous posts, I've described how to update value of a Enterprise custom field that contains value from a Lookup table. Reading of that field is similar, only shorter and easier. Here, I'm using PSI functions from FluentPS library which is free and easy to use but the same PSI functions can be used when you set your own call of Project Server web services.

Let's say we have custom field called "Product" and it contains values from Lookup table called "Products".

NOTE: If Custom field on your project contains no value, then you won't be able to see that field on that project. If field is empty, Project Server acts as if that field doesn't exist.
